Composition of incubation solution impacts in vitro protein uptake to silicone hydrogel contact lenses
Jadi, Salsabeel; Heynen, Miriam L.; Luensmann, Doerte; Jones, Lyndon W. (Molecular Vision, 2012-02-04)Purpose: To determine the impact of incubation solution composition on protein deposition to silicone hydrogel (SH) contact lenses using a simplistic and a complex model of the tear film. Methods: Three SH materials – ... -
Contact lens physical properties and lipid deposition in a novel characterized artificial tear solution
Lorentz, Holly; Heynen, Miriam L.; Kay, Lise M. M.; Dominici, Claudia Y.; Khan, Warda; Ng, Wendy W. S.; Jones, Lyndon W. (Molecular Vision, 2011-12-24)Purpose: To characterize various properties of a physiologically-relevant artificial tear solution (ATS) containing a range of tear film components within a complex salt solution, and to measure contact lens parameters and ... -
